Talk about an upgrade. When Beyoncé performed at the 2007 BET Awards, the songstress wore what have to be the most expensive leggings ever purchased: a $100,000 pair from Balenciaga. Why so much? They were made of actual gold.

Buying a building? Small potatoes. Actress Kim Basinger and other investors bought Braselton, a small town in her native Georgia, for a whopping $20 million. They intended to turn it into a tourist location, but had no luck. Just five years later, she sold it for $1 million.

Self-described "eccentric" actor John Travolta owns five airplaines, including a Boeing 707 made especially for Qantas -- and a runway, attached to his Orlando, Florida house. So his home is basically an airport. He has never disclosed the cost of indulging his penchant for flying.

Celine Dion

Vocal chords need love, too, especially if they're megastar belter Celine Dion's. When the Canadian singer entered into a $100 million contract with Ceasars Palace in Las Vegas, it included a $95 million purpose-built venue, complete with a requested humidifier system that sprays mist on her while she sings. The cost: $2 million.

So maybe she's not super fond of "little monsters"? The American Horror Story: Hotel star and singer Lady Gaga reportedly dropped $50,000 on an Electro-Magnetic Field Reader, which sense when ghosts are around.
